The Chicago Bears are holding a fire sale, which means random completely baseless rumors are starting to fly.

Jeffery missed the preseason with a calf injury but recovered in time the Bears opened their season against the Green Bay Packers where he had a team-high five receptions for 128 yards. To be brutally trustworthy, he was awful for the Bears. He is the co-host of “Dickerson & Hood” on the ESPN Radio national network, and is heard in Chicago on ESPN 1000.
September 13, 2015; Chicago, IL, United States of America; Chicago Bears linebacker Jared Allen (69) in the course of the first quarter at Soldier Field. Keep a close eye on how the offense uses rookie running back Jeremy Langford in the coming weeks, as he seems to be the heir apparent to Forte once he is no longer on this football team. There’s no doubt that Bostic can play in this league, as he has very good coverage skills and above average speed, it’s just a matter of whether he can stay healthy with his new club. Will the Bears end the season ranked No. 32?
The big question now surrounding this team is not how many wins they will get, but rather who is next to be traded. In fact, the only report on the Bears and Forte is that they don’t want to trade him. In his career, Forte is the second on the Bears all-time list of rushers behind the great Walter Payton.
The tweet also discusses another possible trade block player in Alshon Jeffery. If the Bears elect to trade Jeffery, I could also see them getting a second-round pick in return, which would help them in the re-build they have started.
